The President of the United
States, in his annual message to
Congress, recommends and urges
the immediate passage of a meas
ure known as the Lodge election
bill which involves a radical revo
lution in the election machinery
of this Union, both State and Na
tional, and its passage will be fa- j
tal to the autonomy of the States
and to the cherished liberties of
tho citizens; and we most solemn
ly protest against the passage of
the said election bill and we most
earnestly petition our Senators in
Congress to employ all fair and
loyal means to defeat this unpat
riotic measure, which can result
in nothing but evil to our common
and beloved country. National
Alliance Resolution, passed at
Oeala.
Prof. Haun boasts of not hav
ing voted for about iiO years. Yet
lie is going around teaching the
people their duties as citizens !
He kicked out of the Democratic
party years and years ago ; he
kicked out of his church, and a
year ago he kicked out of the
count' Alliance because it would
not take certain political action
and now he is going over the
country kicking up a dust in gen
eral, and misleading the people
and causing neighbor to be aMen
ated from neighbor, by teaching
the credulous his Weaverism.
I'rof. Hahu is an appropriate fol
lower of Weaver. Weaver has
been iu 3 or 4 more parties than
Hahu. but friend Hahn will get
even if he is given time.

BANXER.
WLiie the committees were pre
paring their reports last Saturday,
a motion was carried that previous
to the next Democratic rally a no
tico should be issued through the
Courier statiug that the Banner
now in possession of Howard's
Creek, would be awarded to the
township that would famish the
largest number in horseback pro
cession iu proportion to Democratic
strength.
PJaus are already under consider
ation for that occasion. The time
will, perhaps be in October.
A bald head is unnatural and un
necessary. Hali'a Hair Renewer
will prevtut it.
The county Democratic conven
tion, report of which, fnniished by
the fitcictary, is published in an
other column, waa very enthusiastic
and harmonious. The court house
was scarcely sufficient to seat the
delegates, and heuce those not del
c-gates were almost all deprived of
seats. Upon the countenance of
e very member's face was depicted
pure, untainted and un terrified
Democracy. In that convention
last Saturday and in what followed
it, there was a determination in
every look, a boldness in every
ord, a positiveness in overy action,
an enthusiasm in every shout that
portrayed to the epectator in marks
of unmistakable clearness that the
people of Lincoln county were de
termined not to allow to trail in the
dust the banner of true, puee, and
ETERNAL DEMOCRACY.
Third party men were astonished
at what they saw. Many had heard
that i he Democratic party was
about dead ; and when they Haw the
multitude ot people rallying around
the banner and when they beheld
ihe enthusiasm displayed, they
i-ould scarcely believe their own
ryes. Not only have mauy been
deceived as to the truo issues aud
t rue principles but also as to uumn
'ern. Why, readers, there is a cer
lain little section in Howard's Creek
township, where the Third party
ellows think that they are THE
people, the whole people and that
heieare no other people besides
Hut when it conies to conuting
votes, Howards Creek will, we be
lieve, show the Third party fellows
that after all they are not "the
People." It will be, we believe, in
sect io us like that as it was iu the
State of Alabama. The Third party
thought it would sweep everything
before it, and lo and behold, the
democrats weut in with a sweeping
majority !
IKONTOX DEMOCRACY.
In solidity, like the irou v nought
out ot its soil ; iu purity, like gold ;
in activity, like quicksilver; and in
promptness, like a well drilled sols
diery, is the Democracy of Ronton j
township. With bat afewdajs j
notice the Democrats of that town
tfhip rallied themselves together aud
came uplabt Satuiday on horseback
and in carriages and other ve
hickles. In addition to over 100
voters they C;ime with about 30
boys in uniforms, whose young
hearts beat with joy aud whose
voices rang out iu clear tones as
tbey cheeied for the cause of pure
Southern Democracy. Three cheers
or the old aud the young Democ
r acy of lronton.
MOM 12 Y HAS LfitP
EI FROM THE FENCE.
Snapp, N C
Aug 1st 1892
Mr Ed Lincoln Curier
Dear sir
After waiting long
and pitiently to see what our Dem'
ccratic house of representatives
with a clear Majoiity of 148 would
co lor the burdened and oppressed
people ; and after finding that they
have not only done nothing worthy
cf notice but to kill the silver bill
passed by the Republican senate I
Lrtve concluded to cast my lot with
the People and the Peoples' parly.
Now as your friends ami mine want
ed to know where I stood, you can
toll them that I stood a long time
uaiting, aud new I stand with the
Peoples party. They (the Demo
crats) may fooll all the people part
cf the time or a part of the people
all tne time, but ttey cannot fool
alt the people all the time.
If it 8nits vour fancy you can give
this a place iu your col urns
yours truly
Moses Stroup
Tb6 Democrats of Gaston can
now breathe easy. What Mr. Stroup
has beeu votiug with heretofore he
has not said. Now he has decided
to vote with the "people." We in
fer that he has heretofore votd
with some other kind of animals I
Mr, Stroup has been "waiting.'' We
suppose he has been waiting for
Confess to coin out that 50 per
capita and send the amount around
to each member of his family. What
Mr, Stroup is expecting from the
past Congress we know not.
He says he has decided to vote
with the "people's" party since the
silver bill was killed. The Cotjei
ER repotted hm wih the Third
party six months ago, before Con.
gress had a hack at the bid referred
to, Prof. Hahn made a proposition
to that effect aud Mr. Stroup voted
for it, and if Congress had passed a
bill for the freest kind of silver ims
agioable, Mr. Stroup would to-day
be in the Third patty, witli some
other excuse. The fact is, Mr.
Stroup has been with the Third
party ever since the Courier had
him on that eide, but he has been
"waiting" for an excuse aud he itn
agiues that he lias found one at last !
When he voted eudorsing the Third
party platform, he knew he was
leaviug the Democratic party. So
far as the Courieb was concerned,
it knew where he stood last spriiiv
People would have more respect
for a Third party fellow if be would
quit hatching up as his excuse some
thing that the Democrats may have
done after be had already fallen in
with the Third party. Prof. Hahu
had been making Third part
speeches and trying to orgauize
organize Thud party forces before
the action constituting the basis ot
Mr. Stroup'a excuao waa ever taken
by Congress. No sir, dear reader,
all these excuses you hear these
Third party fellows make are morv
est bosh. The fact is they have
listened to these lecturers aud writ
ers abusing the Democratic party,
until they are prejudiced beyond
recognition, aud no matter what
the Democratic party might do they
would be agaiust it. However, Mr.
Stroup is a clever sociable fellow,
but politically he is no loss to any
party.
NOTlvS OX SATURDAY'S
EVEXTN.
When the procession was pass
ing the residence of Mr. T. II.
Hoke, Mrs. Hoke came out with
two beautiful bouquets for the
speakers. Mr. Hoke is sick and
was unable to be out. A number
of ladies handed flowers in to car
riages as the parade moved along.
It was a point worthy of remark
to see so many venerable old cit
izens rejoicing at the demonstra
tion of last Saturday. If this new
Third partyism is the Democracy
of our fathers, why do these old
veterans cling so enthusiastically
to the Democratic party?
Another point that gives pleas
ure to all who love peace and or
der is notable, and that is that
there was not one particle of dis
turbance during the whole day.
There was a unity of thought, an
honestly of purpose, and a har
mony of action in every thing
that was done.
The Charlotte naval batillion
band furnished some excellent
music for the occasion. We have
heard numerons compliments on
the music.
The display of flags in the pro
cession was a very beautiful fea
ture. Handkerchiefs and flags
were waved at the procession by
ladies of almost every residence.
-
Progress.
In has not been 40 years since
Webster was at his best in the U.
S-Senate. In 1852 Clay, Calhoun
and Webster passed away from the
coutpiuuous places of our country
aud the lamentations were great.
But even so eminent a man as Web'
sier said in the Senate wheu a bill
was up to open a mail route from
Independence Mo., to the mouth of
the Columbia river : "What do we
want with this worthless area? This
legion of savages and wild beasrs,
ot deseits of shiftiug sands and
whirlwinds of dust, of cactus, and
prairie dogs? To wbat use could
we ever hope to put these great
deserts, or endless mountain ranges
impenetrable and covered to their
very base with perpetual snow ?
Wbat can we ever hope to do with
the Western coasf, a coast 3,000
miles, rocksbound, cheerless, uuin
viting and not a harbor on it?
What use have we for this country?"
So the greatest of New Eng
land Statesmen spoke not a half
ceutury ago. But westward enter
prise has gone and the people have
covered this vast domain and travel
over the praries and around the
mountaius 3,000 miles to the magi
nificeut Columbia river aud luxurate
in the flower gardens. The now
ceutral State of this nat'on covers
a portion of this region Kansas,
and has a school for every 186 of
her inhabitants, a Sunday School
for every 420, and oulv five crimL
nals for every 10,000, Aud iu this
Columbiau year the four-hundredth
of our American life the
Congress of the nation has decreed
that we shall have a World's Fair
aud the President ha?, by the au
thority of Congress announced
that : "Friday October 21st, 1892,
the 400th anniversary of the discov
ery of America by Columbus, shall
be a general Holiday for tho people
f the United States. On that day
lot tho people, 6o far as possible,
cease from toil and devote them
selves to such exercises aa may bea.
express houor to the discoverer and
their appreciation of the great
achievements ot the four completed
ceuturies of American life. Column
bus stood iu his age as the pioneer
of progress and enlightenmeut. The
system of universal education is in
our age the most prominent and
salutary feature of the spirit of en
lightenment, and it is peculiarly ap
propriate that the schools be made
by the people the center of the day's
demonstrations. Let the national
ll.ig float over every school house in
tho country, aud the exercises be
such as shall impress upon our
youth tho patriotic duties of Amer
ican citizens. In the churohes aud
tber places of assembly let the peo
ple express gratitude to Divine
Providence for tho devout faith of
the discoverer and for the divine
cire aud guid&ncri which has direct
od our history aud so abuudautly
olesned our people. To the people
of Liucolu county the appeal is
made to give this matter kind and
timely attention. Good men have
been appointed in every School
District to manage the schools, and
the Couuty Board, haviug entrust
ed them with this important inter
1st, most respectfully urges them to
c orperato in an effort to have all
tUo schools opeu iu October this
year, in order that all tho children
may be reached by the patriotic
demoustratious ot the 21st of Octo
ber the 400th Centennial day. J
it possible to st:" the hearts of the
people! In bshalf of the youth
of our o mtuy, I do appeal to every
parent pad public school commit
teeman to take hold of tlr's matter
and put our young people forward
in this movement. And I most
tiarncotly iuv:te all our cit'zens to
help in an effort to sigaalizs that
day by appropriata exercises in the
Piedmont Seminary at Ivncolntou
Give as your bast thought and
timely suggestions. The latere is
for the youug and let us all help
them to make our couuty aud town
big enoujjU for their development.
R. Z. J,
Judge Joseph J. Davie Ieail.
IU LEIGH, N. O, Aug. 8. Asso
ciate Justice Joseph J Davis, of the
Supreme Court, died last uight at
his homa at Liuisburg. The news
reached here this ruorniug. The
Mags on the capitol were half-masted.
The entrance to the Supreme
Court buildiug, the door to the
court room aud the chair in which
Judge Davis sat were draped in
mourning. His death was not uu-
expected. For two or three years,
since his first attack cf pdialycif, he
had beeu very feeble and had been
able to do very little work. Daiing
the two last terms he was not ou
the bench. Six weeks ago he was
taken to Morehead City in the hope
that the air would benitit hirr, but
returned nuimproved. He was
greatly esteemed, as a gallant cap
tan iu Gen. Scales' brigade, as the
representative five years of this
congressional district aud as a jus
tice of the court since 188G. His
funeral will be held toMuonow
morning at Louisburg, aud will be
attended by the members aud offi
cers cf the court and several State
officers. A special train will run.
Tlie Third Party aud the
Force Bill.
Tnere is au organ'zed attempt up
on tho part ot the leaders of the
Third party to pooh-pooh the Force
bill aud pietend that there is no
danger of its passage. We do not
doubt that some of them are honest
in their beleif, but we submit that
no thoughtful unprejudiced man
oau read the Republican platfoim,
the utterance of the president and
other leading Republicans, and the
editorials in Republican newspapers
without being convinced that it is
the determination of that party to
enact that measure iuto a law if
they succeed in November, This is
not a Democratic opinion. It is
the declared purpose ot the Repub
lican party and it will not hesitate
to carry it into fuU effect when it
has the power.
The Third party is as deeplv in
terested in the defeat of this meas
ure as the Democratic party. Is
realizes that a Force bill would pre
vent even a cnauce to secure reform
legislation for the next quarter een
tury. At the Third party conven
tion at Omaha a resolution against
the Force bill was adopted. Self
preservation compels them to take
this position. Wise action would
have compelled the adoptiou of a
resolution after this order, but this
would not have pleased General
I WlEAYKB:
Rrmhv.L That nntil th
uiii is eneeuiauy Kiueu, we will
fight with the Democratic party in
its praiseworthy aud patriotic efiort
to prevent this monstrous legislat
tion in or Jer to prevent continued and
fraudulent Republican ascendency,
which ascendency icould pror "l " fl to
all reform measures. ).
This would have been .J. .uj
safe course to pursue but that con
veutiou wanted a now party and
was determined to have it. But,
while it did not pass such a resolu
tion, the danger and fears of the
Force bill were apparent, and tbey
declared in effect that they stood
with tho Democrats upon this im
portant position. In velv of this
declaration against the Forco bill,
wo do not understand how their
candidate for Vice-President can
say, referiug to tho Force bill :
'Oh, that's nothing ! A bugbear,
A mere skeleton to frighteu the peo
ple not worthy ot consideration !
Either the Omaha Convention
stultified itself in declaring against
tho passage of the Force bill, or
Gen. Field is playing a game of
bluff. The Omaha Convention knew
and felt the danger of the Force oill
aud declared against it.
If there was uo danger of its pas
sage, the convention did a silly and
foolish piece of business iu saying
anything about it; Tho ouly way
not to oonvict the convention of id
iotic folly is to admit the evils of
hat bill, aud the fact that if the
Republicans win, it wilt become a
law. We do not agree with all the
action of th Omaha convention,
but we are unwilling to believe the
delegates were such driveiliug idiots
and stupid fools as to - cum
ber their platform with resolutions
against "a tueie skeleton to night
teu the people not worthy of con
side.ation." No; they know, the
Force bill is a menace to them and
to the country, and knowing this
made declaration against it.

He says: "I was feeling sick and tired
and my stomach seemed all out of order.
I tried a nuniher of remedies, hut none
seemed to give me relief until I was in
duced to try the old reliable Ayer'a
Pills. I have taken only one box, but I
feel like a new man. I think they are
the most pleasant and easy to take ot
anything 1 ever used, being so finely
sugar-coated that even a child will take
them. I urge upon all who are
In (Meed

Boothbay (Me.), Register.
"Between the ages of five and fifteen,
I was troubled with a kind of salt
rheum, or eruption, chierly confined to
the legs, aud especially to the bend of
the knee above the calf. Here, running
sores formed which would scab over,
but would break immediately on mov
ing the leg. My mother tried every
thing she could think of, but all (waa
without avail. Although a child, I read
in tbe papers aNmt tho beneficial effects
of Ayer'a Pills, and persuaded my moth
er to let me try them. With uo great
faith in the result, she procured
Ayer's Pills
and I began to use them, and soon
noticed an improvement. Eucouraged
by this, I kept on till I took two boxes,
when the sores disappeared and have
never troubled me since." If. Chipman,
